Vigabatrin Visual Toxicity: Evolution and Dose Dependence

Abstract

This study indicates a strong relationship between VFDs and duration and total dose of VGB. VFDs were irreversible and in a substantial percentage progressive. Similar VFDs may, however, also be found in patients unexposed to VGB. A model of the evolution of the VFDs in VGB toxicity is introduced, and a new simple visual field test is proposed.
